My domain has some DNS issues
https://shorturl.ga
this is a shorturl service that runs on Cloudflare Workers + KV, it worked well for the past 6 months but just like an hour ago i discovered that site was inaccesable.
i tried nslookup for this and it just responded me that record doesn't exist. Some other people on another discord server has the same issue.
i deleted the custom domain from my worker, then re-add it to try if it can be fixed, it didn't.
after that i thought it was my dns problem, but i did a JSDelivr Globalping and there are just few of then correctly HTTP visited the site.
i then deleted the domain from Cloudflare and re-added it, it still wasn't fixed and it's pending on verifying nameserver FOREVER (wtf the nameservers are always the same for the past 6 months, and i just checked it is the given cloudflare nameservers)
I can't think of any possible issues on my side.

From what I can see your nameservers are set to
dax and martha. If those are what CF is giving you, they're set correctly. The issue is probably related to Freenom. Their DNS servers have had some outages in the past. They're required for your domain to work, since you're under a TLD owned by them.
If you deleted and re-added the domain, make sure that you double-check what the name servers should be set to, since it could have changed.it's the same. But it won't complete the setup
hm my other freenom domains are working fine, only this one is not.
Are those also on
.ga?no
lemme check if my other .ga is working
it seems like lots of .ga domains are not working now (including official https://my.ga)
Yeah this is pretty common with freenom TLDs but ga especially
I would highly recommend paying $1 for a proper domain

With freenom, you're going to run into issues like this eventually unfortunately. I would definitely encourage buying a cheap domain like a
.click or .xyz, etc. - you can get these as low as $1.I forgot about this
ga got taken away from Freenom (due to all these issues)
It went under new management just yesterday (when these issues began)

So either:
1. They haven't migrated all freenom domains over yet
2. They aren't migrating them over and you'll need to find an alternative
7 June: .ga domains will be switched over to ANINF with the technical assistance of Afnicoh actually it says below so it may be dead for up to 3 days

.gq is not affected. only .ga are
you cannot transfer a freenom domain if you havn't paid for it, and most registars won't accept a freenom domain anyways.
.ga domains are now even more expensive then .dev on gandi.net
i guess i'll get more .xyz domains?
